Don't buy a pair you've not tried on! It takes an afternoon but go to all the big outdoors shops in covent garden and try on every brand and have a go on them on the shop climbing wall/racks etc. When you've worked out which pair are the best then just get em online for cheaper.
The whole 'buy a size smaller thing' doesn't always work and stubbing your toe in shoes that are too tight will finish your day in my experience.
